What Does Treatment For SPD Look Like?

We know that each individual has unique needs and when one person has sensory difficulties it affects the entire family. At STAR Institute Treatment Center, families find the support and treatment for which they have been searching. We provide a customized approach for specific sensory challenges that you and your child experience. As functioning improves you will experience less stress, and a higher quality of life.
